Angels Fall by Nora Roberts

I had been planning to read Angels Fall, an interesting piece of work by Nora Roberts, since a long time and I have just finished reading it. Angels Fall is a story of a young woman named 'Reece Gilmore' who is the only survivor and witness of a tragic incident in Boston. The story begins with her struggle to put her past behind and move on with her life. She witnesses a murder in a beautiful small little town of Angels Fall but there are no signs of the murder on the scene. Did she actually witness the murder or was it just the figment of her imagination? Some of the characters are really likeable such as Brody, the writer who is the love interest of our heroine and helps her solve this murder mystery and Joannie, the owner of the restaurant who gives shelter and support to Reece during tough times. This book is a romantic thriller and becomes an intense murder mystery in the last few chapters when the reader trys to figure out who the killer is and why? The ending is surprising. All in all, Angels Fall is an entertaining novel to enjoy during those long summer days.

Three Fates by Nora Roberts

I have just finished reading 'Three Fates' by Nora Roberts which I borrowed from Kelowna Library and I liked it. I wouldn't say its one of the best novels I have ever read but definitely its fascinating and engaging upto a point. It simply becomes too predicatable midway. I do agree with critics when they say novel has vivid characters and a strong plot but wouldn't say its a suspense thriller and impossible to put down.

Three fates is a novel based on a treasure hunt, romance and interesting theme of Legendary three fates of Greek mythology which were three separate statues ( Called Clotho,Lachesis and Atropus ) linked together by their bases. Three Fates were said to spin the thread of life of a person, determine his destiny and ultimately destroy him in the end and were of value (artistically and historically) only when they were all three together. The story revolves around Anita Gaye-ruthless business woman, Jack Burnedtt- High tech security expert, Tia Marsh- professor of Greek mythology, Cleo Toliver-a stripper and club dancer and Sullivan Family.

I am a voracious reader and enjoy different types of fiction and as a teenager read lot of Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steele but never had a chance to lay my hands on a novel by Nora Roberts. I am glad I could read 'Three Fates' and am looking forward to reading couple of her other fictional books.
